  • Will this jet be too lean?

    Well, my 100 shot is jetted as 52nitrous 32fuel. Quite often the car chokes off after a pass, and the fuel can be smelled strongly from behind the car. I'm almost positive the shot is rich but I don't know how rich. I have a .030 jet, which I'm thinking about putting in tonight. Even if the .032 wasn't rich, the .030 wouldn't make so much of a difference that damage would be done to the car would it? I will be running some diagnostics soon so if it is lean it won't be for long.

      The ebst thing yyou can do, is replace your plugs....Do a few WOT blasts, pull the plugs, and look at them to tell if it's real rich or just right. People will say Autotap it, but wideband is the only REAL way to know EXACTLY hat's going on. reading the pluigs takes a close 2nd to that.

          Well the plug test is correct but what you have to do is start the car with brand new plugs in it, make your run on nitrous, as soon as you let off nitrous shut the car off and remove the plugs.
          As soon as you are n/a you can get a slightly different pattern.
          Usually the best way to see the burn halo is to take a small saw and cut around all the threads and just remove the threaded part to expose the white cone thing.
          But, you are correct.

          Auto tap is good.
          Wide band is really good.
          I just rely on my pathetic autometer air/ fuel ratio guage and lots of testing.
          Hmmmm, I'm on my 2nd engine, maybe I should test less? :D
          What kit are we talking about?
          Get some O2 sensor results or wide band results and we can go from there
